DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a front view of the pachinko machine. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a front frame which is pivotally attached to the front side of the pachinko machine main body 2 so as to be freely opened and closed. The front frame 1 has a glass door 3 and a front panel 4
, And a game board 5 is detachably mounted on the rear side thereof.

An upper plate 6 is mounted on the front plate 4, and this upper plate
A ball sweeping lever 7 is provided at the front edge of 6. Front frame 1
A lower plate 6 and an operation handle 9 of a firing means 8 are provided at a lower portion of the game device. When the operation handle 9 is operated, game balls are supplied one by one from the upper plate 6 to the firing section, and the game balls are supplied to the firing motor. By the operation of, the game board 5 is fired.

On the front surface of the game board 5, a guide rail 10 for guiding a game ball fired by the firing means 8 is provided, and in addition to obstacle nails, prize openings 11 to 13, prize means 15, 16 and
Floating symbol display means 17, image display means 18, big prize winning means 19,
A starting gate 20, an outlet 21 and a corner lamp 22 are provided respectively.

The variable symbol display means 17 and the image display means 18 are arranged at the center of the game board 5 in a state of being integrally connected vertically. The variable symbol display means 17 includes three symbol display portions 23, 24, and 25 for segmentally displaying the numeric symbols from 0 to 15, and when the game ball enters the starting gate 20, each symbol display portion.
23, 24, and 25 symbols fluctuate for a certain period of time at such a speed that they can be seen.

The image display means 18 is constituted by a liquid crystal display device or the like, and is disposed horizontally above the variable symbol display means 17. Each time a game ball enters the starting gate 20, the image display means 18 displays an image corresponding to the random number at that time, and displays other suitable images at other times. The image displayed on the image display means 18 may be either a moving image or a still image.

The winning symbol 19 is a combination of the stop symbol after the symbol display portions 23, 24, and 25 of the variable symbol display device 17 are changed. When displayed, the opening / closing plate 26 is opened for the required time, and the game balls falling from above along the game board 5 are thrown into the special winning means 19.
It is easy to enter.

FIG. 3 exemplifies a control system for controlling the variable symbol display means 17 by random number processing. Numeral 30 denotes random number generating means, which constantly generates random numbers from 0 to 255. Numeral 31 denotes a random number processing means. When the game ball enters the starting gate 20, the random number processing means 31 reads a random number from the random number generating means 30 and performs random number processing.

Numeral 32 is a symbol control means, each time a game ball enters the starting gate 20, each symbol display unit 2 of the variable symbol display means 17
While changing the symbols of 3, 24, and 25, the change of each symbol display unit 23, 24, and 25 is stopped so as to be a preset stop symbol according to the random number processed by the random number processing unit 31. It is configured. Reference numeral 33 denotes image control means.Each time a game ball enters the starting gate 20, an image corresponding to the random number at that time is displayed on the image display means 18, and at other times, another appropriate image is displayed on the image display means. 18 is displayed. In addition, random number processing means 31, symbol control means 32,
The image control means 33 is composed of an IC, a microcomputer, and the like.

In the random number processing means 31, as shown in FIG.
The random number from 0 to 255 from the random number generating means 30 is divided into 16 equal parts, from "00" to "01", "02", "03", "0".
4 "," 05 "," 06 "," 07 "," 08 "," 0 "
9 "," 0A "," 0B "," 0C "," 0D "," 0
E "and" 0F ". Then, for each block, a unique random number processing condition and a moving condition for moving to another block are respectively set, and each block is set according to a random number when a game ball enters the starting gate 20. After selecting one of the above, each time a game ball enters the starting gate 20 until the moving condition is satisfied, random number processing is performed in that block in accordance with the random number processing condition.

In each block, the random number from 0 to 255 from the random number generating means 30 is divided into 16 and further divided by 1
Sixteen random numbers equal to the number of blocks are generated by dividing into six.

By the way, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, in the 01 block, one random number and two symbols are displayed per block for matching all the symbols stopped in the symbol display sections 23, 24 and 25. The reach random number that matches the stop symbols of parts 23, 24, 25 is 4
The number of stray random numbers that make all the stop symbols of the symbol display sections 23, 24, 25 different from each other is 13, and two moving random numbers are set in the stray random numbers. In each of the blocks other than the 01 block, one reach random number, 15 out-of-range random numbers, and two moving random numbers are set, and these blocks are out-of-range blocks. Sometimes, a random number at that time is read, and a block is selected, a symbol is displayed, and a block is moved according to the random number.

In addition, at the time of each moving random number, each symbol display unit 2
Since the departure symbols are displayed at 3, 24, and 25, the number of departure random numbers in each block is replaced by the number of moving random numbers, as shown in parentheses in FIG.

In the 01 block, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, of the random numbers up to 000F, the random number 01 is hit, the random numbers 02, 03, 06 and 0A are reach random numbers, and the random numbers 00 and 0F are mobile random numbers. , Each random number including a moving random number other than the hit random number and the reach random number is set as an outlier random number.

Then, the symbol control means 32 determines that
At 1, the winning symbol is extracted from the symbol display table, and the winning symbol is displayed on each of the symbol display sections 23, 24, 25. Similarly, reach random numbers 02, 03, 06,
At the time of 0A, the hit symbol related to the hit symbol
In addition, at the time of outliers including the moving random numbers 00 and 0F, outliers not related to any of the winning symbol and the reach symbol are displayed on the symbol display sections 23, 24 and 25, respectively.

The moving random numbers 00 and 0F are for moving conditions, and when the moving random numbers are used, the movement to the same block as the random numbers, that is, the 00 block and the 0F block, is specified.

The winning symbol has three symbol display portions 23, 2
The combination of all the symbols displayed on 4,25 is "7", and the reach symbol is a combination of the two symbols on the left among the symbols displayed on the three symbol display sections 23,24,25. "7" and only the right symbol is a combination other than "7", such as "7.7.0", "7.7"
There are combinations such as "1", "7.7.2", "7.7.3", "7.7.4". Missing symbols are three symbol display parts
The symbol displayed on 23,24,25 is a combination of symbols that have no relation to the hit symbol and the reach symbol.
It is a combination pattern such as "4, 8, 3" which is different from the individual.

In each of the other blocks, a reach random number, a moving random number, and an out-of-order random number are set according to the numbers shown in FIG. For example, the reach random number and the moving random number of the 00 block and the 02 block are as shown in FIG.

When the random number from the random number processing means 31 is a hit random number, the image control means 33 extracts the hit image from the image display table and causes the image display means 18 to display the hit image. In some cases, a reach image is displayed, and in the case of an out-of-sequence random number, an out-of-order image is displayed. At the time of the reach random number, the reach images are extracted from the image display table in a specific order based on the reach image at the time of the first reach random number generation, and the images are sequentially displayed on the image display means 18 in that order. Has become.

Next, control in the pachinko machine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. At the time of the game, when the operating handle of the firing means 8 is operated, the game balls supplied one by one to the firing position of the firing means 8 are fired along the guide rail 10 onto the upper part of the game board 5.
Then, when the game ball enters the starting gate 20, the display symbols of the symbol display sections 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 fluctuate for a fixed time.

At this time, the control system is started by turning on the power of the pachinko machine or operating the operation handle. First, initial settings are made for each unit (step S1), and the random number generating means 30 starts generating random numbers (step S1). S2).

When the first game ball enters the starting gate 20 (step S3), the random number processing means 31 reads the random number from the random number generating means 30 at that time (step S3).
4). Then, it is determined whether or not the block has already been determined (step S5). If the block has not been determined, the random number is selected and determined from any of the 16 blocks to determine the block (step S6). ).

When the block is determined, a random number process is performed in accordance with the random number processing conditions in this block each time a game ball enters the starting gate 20 until a moving random number appears, and the game proceeds. That is, when the block is determined, it is first determined whether or not the random number is a reach random number (step S7).
32 extracts the reach symbol corresponding to the reach random number from the symbol display table, displays the reach symbol on each of the symbol display sections 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 (step S8), and the image control means 33. Extracts the reach image corresponding to the reach random number from the image display table, and
Is displayed (step S9).

If the random number is not a reach random number, it is determined whether or not the random number is a hit random number (step S10). If the random number is a hit random number, the symbol design control means 32 extracts a winning symbol corresponding to the random number from the symbol display table. Then, the symbol is displayed on each of the symbol display sections 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 (step S11), and the image control means 33 extracts a hit image corresponding to the hit random number from the image display table. The image is displayed on the display means 18 (step S12).

If the random number is neither a hit random number nor a reach random number, it becomes a stray random number including a moving random number. Therefore, the symbol control means 32 extracts a stray symbol corresponding to the stray random number from the symbol display table, and changes the moving symbol. In addition to displaying the departure symbol on each of the symbol display parts 23, 24, 25 of the display means 17 (step S13), the image control means 33 extracts the departure image corresponding to the departure random number from the image display table and outputs the deviated image. Is displayed (step S14).

It is determined whether the random number is a moving random number (step S15). If the random number is a moving random number, the block is moved to a block corresponding to the moving random number (step S16). When the ball is entered into the start gate 20 and the random number is read, if the block has already been determined, the process proceeds from step S5 to step S7. Then, each time one game ball enters the starting gate 20, the same process is repeated. Then, when there are no more game balls, the process ends (step S17).

The control operation is performed in such an order.
Next, the pattern shifts from the missing block to the winning block, and changes to the winning.
The relationship between 4, 25 stop symbols and the display image of the image display means 18 will be specifically described.

First, it is assumed that when the first game ball enters the start gate 20, a block out of 02 is temporarily selected. If the random number at this time is, for example, a reach random number of 03, as shown in FIG. 7, the symbol control means 32 displays the reach corresponding to the reach random number of 03 on each of the symbol display sections 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17. The symbol "7.7.1" is displayed (step S8), and the image control means 33 displays the image display means 18.
To display the December reach image corresponding to the reach random number (step S9).

Next, if the random number when the game ball enters the starting gate 20 is, for example, an out-of-number random number of 02, the symbol control means 32 controls the symbol display of the variable symbol display means 17 as shown in FIG. In the parts 23, 24 and 25, the off symbol "1" corresponding to the off random number of 02
7.8 "(step S13), and the image control means 33 causes the image display means 18 to display a missed image of the raccoon corresponding to the random number (step S14).

Then, if the random number continues three times,
As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 11, the symbol display portions 23, 24, and 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 display an off symbol such as “6. Is displayed. If the third off random number is a moving random number of 01, each symbol display section 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 indicates “3”.
.6.5 "and the image display means 18 displays a flower image deviate image, while the hit block of the 02 block to the 01 block in preparation for the next game ball entering the starting gate 20. (Step S16).

After reaching the hit block, if reach random numbers such as 03, 0A, etc. continue,
As shown in the figure, each symbol display unit 23,2 of the variable symbol display means 17
The reach symbols of "7.7.3" and "7.7.4" are displayed on 4,25 (step S8), and the image display means 18 displays May,
The reach image for June is displayed (step S9). If the next random number is an outlier such as 80, as shown in FIG.
An off symbol "8.6.2" is displayed on each symbol display section 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 (step S13), and an image of a raccoon is displayed on the image display means 18 (step S1).
4).

Further, if the reach random number, the outlier random number, and the reach random number continue, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, the reach symbol, the off symbol, the off symbol,
The reach symbols are displayed sequentially and the image display means 18
The reach image of the moon, the image of the missing raccoon, and the reach image of August are sequentially displayed.

Thereafter, when a random number of 01 appears, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, each symbol display unit 2 of the variable symbol display means 17
At the same time, a winning symbol of "7.7.7" is displayed on 3, 24, 25 (step S11), and a hit image of September is displayed on the image display means 18 (step S12). Then, at this point, the opening / closing plate 26 of the special winning means 19 is opened, and the game balls falling from above along the game board 5 easily enter the special winning means 19 and enter the special winning means 19. Prize balls are paid out according to the number of game balls, and a great profit is returned to the player.

According to this embodiment, 0 including a random number
The probability of becoming one block is 1/16, the probability of the hit random number in the 01 block is 1/16, the probability of the reach random number is 4/16, and the probability of the off random number is 11/16.
The probability of the moving random number is 2/16. In the simple calculation, if the game ball enters the starting gate 20 eight times, it moves to another block.

Therefore, in the 01 block, until the moving random number appears, the starting gate 20 has three game balls.
The winning random number, the reach random number, and the out-of-range random number appear with a predetermined probability each time the pattern is repeated 5 times, 8 times, and thus each symbol display section 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 has a winning symbol. ,
The reach symbol, the off symbol, and the hit image, the reach image, and the off image are displayed on the image display means 18 while being mixed according to a predetermined probability.

That is, in the 01 block, the probability of immediately becoming a hit symbol is very low, 1/16 of that of other off symbol and reach symbol, so that it is generally 11/1.
Reach symbols are displayed in a specific order with a probability of 4/16 between many out-of-order symbols displayed with a probability of 6.

For this reason, in the case of the 01 block, the player cannot know that there is a winning random number,
The probability that a reach symbol indicating a reach state such as “7.3”, “7.7.4”, etc., and a reach image such as May, June, etc. appears becomes large, and each symbol display unit of the variable symbol display means 17 23,24,25
Since the appearance of the image of the symbol and the image of the image display means 18 are different from those at the previous time, the player determines the next symbol from the continuation of the display of the variable symbol display means 17 and the image display means 18. Therefore, the game is played while making use of the thinking ability, such as making predictions or expecting, and it is possible to play a game that is interesting and has an excellent interest.

In particular, an image display means 18 is provided in addition to the display of the symbols by the fluctuating symbol display means 17 so that the image display means 18 displays a hit image, a reach image, and a departure image directly related to the game content. Therefore, as compared with the case where only the symbol is displayed by the variable symbol display means 17, the degree of impression to the player is increased, and the interest of the player is increased and improved.

Further, since the reach images are displayed in a specific order on the image display means 18 every time a reach random number appears, by giving each reach image a certain degree of relevance, the game It is also possible to have a game configuration with

In other words, when a game is constructed, the moving rate in a simple calculation can be easily determined by the number of moving random numbers moving to another block, and each block can be determined within the range of the moving rate. Can be determined arbitrarily, and the reach image can be displayed in a specific order each time the reach random number appears on the image display means 18, so that the display image of the image display means 18 in a specific block can be displayed. Ingenuity such as giving a story can be easily achieved.

For this reason, all random numbers are divided into a plurality of blocks, and a moving random number is set for each block.
Until the moving random numbers appear, by using both the method of proceeding the game according to the processing conditions in each block and the image display method by the image display means 18, each block or all the blocks have a taste. It is possible to easily adopt a very interesting game configuration, and to change the game content itself as compared with conventional simple random number processing and symbol display.

Further, the movement rate is increased / decreased, each random number is
Depending on the setting of random number conditions such as reach random number, moving random number, etc., the effect can be freely set and operated,
It is possible to easily adopt a varied and thoughtful game configuration. Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail,
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

For example, in the embodiment, the hit image and the reach image displayed on the image display means 18 are unified with the images related to each month, and the images have seasonality and narrative.
Other images may be used. In addition, the fluctuation symbol display means 17
And the image display means 18 may be provided separately on the game board 5.

Further, in the embodiment, all of the three symbol display sections 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 are varied by random number processing, but the three symbol display sections 23, 24, 25 are changed. twenty five
Of these, only the left and right symbol display sections 23 and 25 may be varied by random number processing, and the central symbol display section 24 may be varied under conditions other than random numbers.

In the embodiment, the reach symbol is exemplified as the related symbol related to the hit symbol, but each symbol display section 23, 24,
Of the symbols displayed on the symbol 25, the symbol on the symbol display section 25 may be associated. Therefore, the reach random number, the reach design, the reach image, and the like are examples of the related random number, the related design, the related image, and the like.
